I have several pairs of glasses, and most frames these days skew dramatic, with big frames and bold colors. I have one pair that are partially frameless, with delicate metal elsewhere, and I find them less “visible” on my face, especially from a distance or in photos. I tend to wear that pair when I am dressed up for a wedding or cocktail party, for example. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglasses-with-formal-wear-for-a-wedding#post-1959912 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 01:17:49 +0000 Echo 1959912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glasses can and should be worn with anything and everything, from shorts and gear to formal wear or wedding gowns. Not being able to see shouldn't even cross your radar! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglasses-with-formal-wear-for-a-wedding#post-1959908 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 01:01:04 +0000 binkle 1959908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ps - I wore glasses with my wedding gown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglasses-with-formal-wear-for-a-wedding#post-1959904 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 00:56:33 +0000 merwoman 1959904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely wear your glasses! Wee tip, I splurged on non glare coating on my specs when I was a MOB a couple of years ago, it made a huge difference in photos as you could actually see my eyes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglasses-with-formal-wear-for-a-wedding#post-1959901 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 00:49:51 +0000 binkle 1959901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wear your glasses - absolutely no problem.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglasses-with-formal-wear-for-a-wedding#post-1959899 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 00:30:56 +0000 Shannon1970 1959899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your responses and encouragement! I suppose I’ve always thought that glasses weren’t “dressy” enough; that they look perfectly fine, and even fashionable, when worn with casual and work clothes, but they clash with any kind of evening or formal wear and accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglasses-with-formal-wear-for-a-wedding#post-1959891 Wed, 26 Sep 2018 23:09:14 +0000 Katerina 1959891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, wear your glasses.<br /> What Staysfit says. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglasses-with-formal-wear-for-a-wedding#post-1959888 Wed, 26 Sep 2018 22:42:21 +0000 Staysfit 1959888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Huh? My reaction is much like Fashinterns. Is there something wrong with glasses?! I personally LOVE glasses frames and even if I could go with contacts would probably choose glasses instead. They are the worlds best accessory! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglasses-with-formal-wear-for-a-wedding#post-1959883 Wed, 26 Sep 2018 21:41:01 +0000 Carla 1959883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Janet said! I've collected pics of stars wearing specs at red carpet events - Jodi Foster, Annette Benning, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglasses-with-formal-wear-for-a-wedding#post-1959838 Wed, 26 Sep 2018 17:00:21 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1959838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have never understood why some glasses wearers act as if their glasses were optional or looked unattractive. Wear them, choose from Rachel's list of "not all at once", and enjoy looking and seeing your best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglasses-with-formal-wear-for-a-wedding#post-1959813 Wed, 26 Sep 2018 15:28:23 +0000 rachylou 1959813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally wear your specs. They won’t get in the way of your dress.</p> <p>But I do advise not to also wear a headband, earrings, scarf, necklace, and brooch. That would be too hectic, too 80s. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglasses-with-formal-wear-for-a-wedding#post-1959803 Wed, 26 Sep 2018 14:39:38 +0000 Angie 1959803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wear your specs and forget about it.

I am almost blind without them, but contacts have always caused terrible irritation, regardless of the type or brand. Should I skip the glasses and tolerate blurry shapes, or should I wear my glasses but switch to maybe a simple navy or black sheath with a dress shoe and bag? Minimal jewelry either way. Please help me to not look like a dork! </p>
